#1 Swift Ascend is in excellent form under David Eustace, with two wins and a second from three starts. He looks well-placed to secure back-to-back victories from barrier 2 after a dominant two-length triumph last time out. #12 Meowth surprised with a debut win at long odds, doing so impressively, and a low draw ensures he maps well. He can measure up despite the rise in class. #6 Super Infinity has barrier 11 to contend with but is highly consistent, making it tough to discount his chances. #4 Awesome Treasure is expected to lead and could prove hard to catch if apprentice Britney Wong is unpressured, especially with the rail out wide favouring front runners.
